Two and a half years ago I was 55 years old and weighed 226 lbs. Today I weigh 137 with maybe 5 or more pounds of fat to lose. It can be done! Just remember that you don't need to be perfect every day - but you need to have more good days than bad and not let yourself get de-railed by the off days. Start with small changes and meaningful, manageable goals. Cliches, but true. :-)0
